21 year old Philipp was born in Judenburg but grew up in Fohnsdorf, central Austria. Currently a student, Philipp describes himself as an “athletic, ambitious, determined, though open minded young man who continuously needs new challenges and goals in life.” An accomplished cook, Philipp likes to prepare fresh meals, made from organic foods. He loves all sports and likes to listen to house and electro when working out.

- Philipp has a pet cat called Lucky – who “has been a loyal companion in good times as in bad ones for 15 years now.”

- Proudest moment: “The decisive moment in my life was when I traded computer games and fast food for sports, fitness and a healthy diet. (I) was given a whole new direction and suddenly everything changed for the better.”

- Personal Motto – Never take advice from pessimists, and never take no for an answer.
